Ji Lingchen asked, “What dance did I do? Did I play a song?”

“You did. It was that song. You danced in the most dazzling ethnic style. You danced so hard that we all had to watch. In the end, you even forced me to applaud you.”

Ji Lingchen asked, “What was that?”

“It’s that popular song, ‘Legend of the Phoenix.’ You’re the most beautiful cloud in the sky. Let me try my best to make you stay…” Fang Xiaonuan suddenly realized that something was wrong after singing for a while. She was a little surprised, “You haven’t heard of it?”

Ji Lingchen said, “I haven’t heard of it. There’s no way I played that song.”

!!

Fang Xiaonuan did not believe him. She patted Ji Lingchen’s shoulder. “Stop pretending. This song is popular all over the country.”

“I never listen to music. No matter how popular it is, I don’t know. My phone doesn’t have this song,” Ji Lingchen said teasingly.

This made Fang Xiaonuan blush. He had seen through her lies.

“You took advantage of my situation and lied to me?” Ji Lingchen asked.

Fang Xiaonuan blinked awkwardly and immediately changed the topic. “You’ve been eating for a while. Are you thirsty? I’ll go get you some water.” With that, Fang Xiaonuan ran out.

He had only eaten for less than two minutes. Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan’s retreating figure and shook his head helplessly with a smile.

When she reached the living room, Fang Xiaonuan saw that Feng Qi was there as well. She stopped in her tracks, and Feng Qi was stunned when she saw her. Both of them knew that they were afraid of quarreling with each other, but their destination was the same — the water dispenser. They got their water. It was so quiet that only the sound of the water dispenser could be heard.

“What time will you move out tomorrow?” Feng Qi looked at the water dispenser and pretended to ask as if she did not care about the answer. She no longer had a domineering aura, and she looked much gentler.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “We’ll see once my husband sobers up.”

“If you leave, don’t come back. The Ji family should belong to Lingchen, and not a single cent will go missing. But the Ji family’s mistress can only be me. You’re too young to compete with me. Although we don’t like each other, we can be polite to each other to keep the peace. If you dare to be greedy and if you make Lingchen monopolize the Ji Corporation, I won’t let it slide.” Feng Qi said as she closed her bottle.

Fang Xiaonuan was completely confused. Mistress? Monopolizing? “I don’t understand what you mean. What are you talking about?”

“You don’t understand? Didn’t you want to step on my head and become the mistress of the Ji family? Then, you can make Lingchen to do whatever you want, and the two of you can monopolize the Ji family.” Feng Qi laughed mockingly. She did not understand why she had spoken so bluntly. What was Fang Xiaonuan hiding?

Fang Xiaonuan held onto Ji Lingchen’s cup of water, and her gaze was very sincere. She said to Feng Qi, “I never thought of stealing the matriarch title from you. Also, the Ji family belongs to the Ji family. It has nothing to do with me. Sister-in-law, I did not want to fight with you over anything.”

Feng Qi said, “Fang Xiaonuan, have you forgotten what you said when you bullied Rou’er?”

“I bullied her?” Fang Xiaonuan pointed at herself and asked in surprise.

Feng Qi replied, “I know that Lingchen is outstanding, and that all the girls like him. You acted arrogantly in front of Rou’er, arrogantly bullying her, and you even said that you wanted to lead the Ji family and steal my place. Why, are you afraid to admit it?”

Fang Xiaonuan wanted to iron out the misunderstanding. She tugged on Feng Qi’s arm and said, “This matter must be explained clearly. Now, I understand why you have been finding fault with me for the past few days. It seems that someone is trying to sow discord between us. I can swear to you that I never said that I wanted to be the matriarch of the Ji family, nor did I mention anything about the Ji Corporation. In fact, I didn’t even say more than a few words to Lin Rou. If what I said today is even half false, I will die a horrible death. Please tell me, sister-in-law, what did Miss Lin Rou tell you?”

Feng Qi looked at Fang Xiaonuan’s serious expression. As the old saying went, a person’s eyes told the truth. Feng Qi could see the sincerity in Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes.

Feng Qi suddenly remembered that night at the hotel. Her husband had told her that she was being used by the Lin family and cheated by Lin Rou, but she did not believe him. Now, Fang Xiaonuan had also said that someone had caused their discord.

“It was the day you returned home. That afternoon, what did you say to Rou’er that made her cry?” Feng Qi asked Fang Xiaonuan.

“I was the one who met her that day.” Ji Lingchen suddenly came out from behind. He had already finished his food, and he wanted the water that Fang Xiaonuan was supposed to bring up. Thus, he went out to look for her, but in the end, he overheard their conversation.
